Post Thanksgiving Meal Plan and Final Phase of Body Beast

Thanksgiving week absolutely FLEW by!!! I love the time off with my family, the food, the football games…all of it!!!

And we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  I brined and roasted my very first turkey.  I didn’t start small either.  It was a 25 lb BEAST!!!! I tole Matt numerous times that it’s a good thing I am lifting, because I probably lifted that bird at least six different times!

And it turned out beautifully!!! So moist and tasty.  The recipe I used is HERE.

All the rest of the food was fabulous!!! On Thanksgiving Day, my routine was the same.  I woke up, worked out, drank my Shakeology, and ate whatever I wanted!

I enjoyed all of my food and had zero regrets!

When Friday rolled around, I had a couple of weak moments around some pumpkin pies, but overall I stuck with my plan and moved on!!!! In the past, I probably would have turned a cheat day into a cheat week, but not this year!!! my challengers and committed to enjoying our meals and moving forward!!!

It was so exciting to band together to maintain our results we have obtained over the past month.  These ladies have rocked our latest chalelnge group, and they were so motivated to move forward and keep pushing!!! I totally advocate the 80/20 rule in clean eating.  Stick with clean eating 80% of the time and enjoy whatever you want 20% of the time!!

And honestly, this isn’t just about sticking with my plan and seeing the scale change.  I learned early on in the health journey of mine that this is about dependency on God.  Not just to lose weight or look great? But more importantly to grow in Him. Decrease our dependence on food and increase our dependence on Him. 


To put our bodies and our health above our busy schedules, because He gave them to us to use to serve Him!
So, moving forward from Thanksgiving, I have a plan in place!!! Groceries are brought and prepped, and I am ready to see even more results as I move into the last phase of Body Beast! I have seen so many good results with this program.  I am stronger; my metabolism is higher; I LOVE how far I’ve come!

Moving into the final phase, I will focus on adding in more cardio, mixing up my weight lifting sessions and adding in more protein to my diet to lean out some.  I can’t wait to see the results.

Here is my meal plan for this week.

And truthfully, while others are taking a break from their clean eating and exercise because it’s the holidays, my challengers and I are forging ahead!!! Meal planning, prepping our food for the week, scheduling our workouts and committing to them!  We are gonna rock December!!! We are gonna enjoy Christmas and the treats it brings in moderation and start 2016 stronger than ahead of the game!!I!

I am ordering Hammer and Chisel this week, and when I finish Body Beast, I’m jumping into this new program, and I cannot wait!!! It’s gonna be tough, challenging and effective!!! This is gonna be my cruise ready program!!! 

I have a challenge group starting tomorrow, November 30th if you want to join us!!!
